BeerSmith Lite App Description

BeerSmith 2, the top selling home brewing software, comes to iPhone and iPad! The Lite version lets you view, time, and carry your recipes on the go (no editing). BeerSmith Lite lets you search from thousands of beer recipes on our BeerSmithRecipes database, and download and view them on your phone or tablet. The app is also tightly integrated with our desktop software and cloud recipe service, making it a snap to view your recipes on the go. An integrated brew day timer with notifications shows you step by step instructions for your recipes and plays an alarm as each completes. A beer style guide, ingredient reference, set of 7 brewing calculators and unit converters rounds out this great app!
The ultimate companion app for BeerSmith users - create a recipe at your desktop cloud folder, walk in the garage, and run the brew-day timer from your mobile device!

I use this when I go to the home brew shop to get ingredients and for brew timers. The recipe cloud is great as I use Beersmith 2 on my PC to plan all my brews.

Works well

Just make sure the security on your router is not blocking the cloud.

Great potential

This app has some great potential as soon as the big are worked out of it. I just upgraded my lite to the full version. I would have liked to see the icon change to the full version after doing so.
It would have probably benefited the app to run a beta for more user input and fix programming issues. Other than that I am extremely excited to write recipes on the fly, which will be so much better with easy accessibility.

Awesome

This is no where near what the full software is but I have enjoyed using the timers and calculators and other gadgets. I am excited for the full version to come for Apple products.

Looking forward to full version.

This is a handy COMPANION to the BeerSmith full version. I especially like the timing feature for mash and boil schedules.
I look forward to getting full functionality for this app without having to start up my PC to change a recipe on the fly, for example.

Good resource

Overall this app is a handy resource tool for calculations and recipe inspiration. Only downside I've found is in majority of the recipes they don't add great instructions for the brew such as amount of time in fermentation, secondary and in some cases the recipe calls for kegging and doesn't give you a sugar to add for bottle carbonation. But those things can be found by trial and error would just be nice to take out the guess work.

Good app and good beers!!

Overall a very good app. I works better with the computer software if your looking to change anything within the recipe unfortunately this app alone can't do it. However if your a beginner that know how to brew and are just looking for different recipes to see what you favorite tips then this is certainly the best place I have found to get those recipes!!!

Good but would like more funtionality

Requires the desktop client to enter new recipes. Should be part of the beer smith app.
App does work well at brew time providing timers, ingredients and amounts. Timers work even if iPod powers down.
